A Sheffield man has been ordered to hand over around £65,000 in ill gotten gains, after being jailed for his involvement in the sale of Class A drugs.
26 year old Almuez Hamid, formerly of Lowedges Crescent, was jailed for 42 months in November for drugs offences and possession on criminal property.
An investigation by South Yorkshire Police’s Asset Recovery Team has now found he made around £110,000 through criminal activity – he has now been handed a confiscation order in an attempt to record some of the cash.
Laura Hough, Head of Asset Recovery at South Yorkshire Police, said:
“Money gathered from confiscation orders is paid back into the justice system. It helps positively impact communities previously blighted by criminals.
“Information submitted by you, our local communities, is essential in securing confiscation orders. Intelligence from the public allows us to construct a better a understanding of how much convicted criminals have benefitted from their life of criminality.
“Have you noticed someone who has suddenly started wearing designer clothing or have bought a second car despite not appearing to have a job? They may be gaining this money illegally.
“If you see something that is not quite right, I urge you to report it to us, or through Crimestoppers if you don’t want to talk to us directly and want to remain anonymous.”
